My net/laptop is too slow to have more that 1 stream without an insane amount of lag. I'll have multiple Sophies Choices today.

United/Burnley looks a little out of place tbh.

It does but, being a United fan, I look forward to every game no matter how pessimistic I am. :D As much as I enjoy big games like the others today, and as sure as I am the ours most likely won't be as good a game as the others, I'm still looking forward to it the most.
 
So PL games at 3pm & 5pm and the semi final is at 4 o'clock. Don't they want as many viewers as possible? I realise that this is different broadcasters but still.

I'm guessing it most likely is transport reasons. Ideally the Arsenal-Mancity game should have been played on Saturday as one set of fans have to travel from Manchester whereas with the Chelsea-Spurs semi the fans are from London.

I reckon City will win this as Arsenal players seem to want to get Wenger sacked. Expect loads of goals though hopefully and hopefully an entertaining match. Chelsea-Spurs game was more entertaining than I expected.
 
Want Arsenal to somehow nick it. If they won the cup, it wouldn't really matter to me, and Arsene would probably get a new contract. Still expect Chelsea to beat either team in the final.

Actually, I was wrong. Can't find a single stream for Villa Birmingham
 
Should have been played at Villa park and Old trafford. Also anything can happen in a final but I expect Chelsea to beat Arsenal if they make it to the final. I can see Mancity beating Chelsea though in the final.
 
I want Arsenal to win today, and then lose in the final badly so we get a great AFTV season finale. City winning anything isn't palatable to me.

I think we can do better than Villa Park now. Even having it at the Emirates would make more sense now.

Can't understand why there is any clash at all? Liverpool Palace could have been yesterday and our game could have started at 13:30 or 14:00. Should have been the Arsenal v City match yesterday and the London clubs should have played today for the, benefit of the travelling fans as someone said above anyway IMO.

@Invictus killed him off for quality control. Mods have a feature called usernotes for making notes on certain posters. He had by far the most with 26. None of them good.

Bless the lord. Im glad he cut the head of the snake.

I agree I thought Chelsea got out played and scored a screamer and from 3 set pieces. Conte came up short and individual brilliance pulled him through. Nothing to do with tactics from him.

What an awful post.
Then by your mindset, a manager does nothing.
 
Even though we lost yesterday, I thought we played well and were the better team for long stretches of the game.

But I also think that Poch blundered by playing Son as a wingback - I can't see any good reason why he decided to not continue with Davies, as the latter has been perfectly decent - albeit not spectacular - in the role in the continuing absence of Rose. It upset the balance of the team and cost us the penalty - without which the outcome of the game might well have been different.
 
Lineups: Arsenal vs City

Cech; Gabriel, Koscielny, Holding; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, Monreal; Özil, Alexis; Giroud

Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Gibbs, Coquelin, Walcott, Iwobi, Welbeck


City XI: Bravo, Navas, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernandinho, Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, Aguero

Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Fernando, Sterling, Kolarov, Delph, Iheanacho
 
Arsenal going three at the back again. I didn't think they looked that good on Monday.
 
We were very poor with 3 at the back against a god-awful Boro team. Sane running the channel between Gabriel/Chamberlain could be a huge weakness for us.

It is amazing how we have so many average midfielders. Elneny, Coquelin, Ramsey, Xhaka. I would swap all four for a fit Cazorla.

I thought that red dot on the Arsenal tweet was an angry emoticon.
Even the social media team were fed up..

I don't think it suited you at all. I'm cautiously more confident we will beat you now you are playing like that. Really think if you can score first your front 3 might cause us enough problems that you'll win but if we score first I think given the way you are set up we'll win quite handy.

It's the case of trying to protect our defence a bit more in this moment of the season. It can work or not, but we couldn't go on with the old system.

You got a draw v City with your usual 4 at the back. I really don't see the logic in having the Ox try to mark Sane (arguably the leagues on form winger after Hazard.) I know Bellerin hasn't been great but surely his defensive nous would be more useful today than Ox.

The Ox was quite good against Boro, tbf. Besides, when he plays in a more defensive role (for example, as WB or CM) he always does well.
 
After a great start by United, Burnley turn it around. Great game so far.

I really don't get where this hype for Ox comes from. Just because he acknowledges the fans a bit more and has nice touches in midfield does not mean he is performing well. He is still wreckless going forward, loses the ball far too easily and his finishing is poor. I want him to succeed but i havent seen anything which sets him apart from Elneny, Coquelin, Ramsey or Xhaka.
 
Lovely goal. Thats why you never leave Barton 1 v 1 with Martial.
 
Come on United and Arsenal! I support both of you today :p Actually I'm going to support both teams until you finish your tours at White Hart Lane :lol:
 
United are in good form at the moment and seem to be able to cope with injuries better than the other top six sides.

That Manchester derby is going to be a big game.
 
Fellaini should be booked already, is that 3 or 4 times already now.
